Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I found this story, and statements resonated for me; I hope you enjoy it also. (from http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/cayenne.html) Frederic said: [...my book " The Raw Secrets, " I quoted Theofilio de la Torre, who wrote: " During the years I spent in Central America and in Cuba, I had the opportunity to observe the reaction of monkeys when offered a food they never ate before. Instinctively, they use three senses to know if the food is poisonous: • the sense of sight • the sense of smell • the sense of taste " First they attentively look at the new food. If it passes this first exam of the sense of sight, they pursue their examination with their acute sense of smell. They bring their nose close to this new food and smell it intensely. If they find it has a pleasant smell, it will have passed this part of the inspection. Finally, they lick the food and taste a small piece of it. If they like the taste, they start to eat it carefully. " During this whole process, the animal acted according to the Universal Law of Natural Dietetics, that is, they found the new food to be: • pleasant to the sight • pleasant to the smell • pleasant to the taste when it is consumed: • in the raw state • without combinations and • without seasonings " This law is known by all animals, who obey it all except man. Theofilio de la Torre " ] maybe not a Eureka! for me, and something about it resonated for me at a " gut " /emotional level... he was using this example to discuss why Cayenne/and the Master Cleanse are both not good for us..he has thoughts on many other topics.. Had an interesting craving this morning: it was for lunch meat (thankfull we didn't have any!) - it passed. Have a great day! best regards, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
